Yes, it must be run with sudo.

sudo was changed some time ago. don't know is it ubuntu-specific change 
or global, but now by default it blocks access to some information 
required by client. I had same problem. You must use some sudo switch.

I think you must use "sudo -E .....". (if I'm wrong, just "man sudo" and 
look for suspicious options which could "allow" or "pass" something).

After installation, don't forget to check created script and verify all 
pathnames. Also I prefer to run client "su"'ed to my user account 
(otherwise you'll could have problems with files created with root-only 
permissions in your home directory).
